Diego Allessandro and Lot 25 Takeover The Saint By Gary Wien SHARE BUTTON Few local bands ever get a 45-minute set, much less an hour to showcase their own tunes at the rock and roll clubs in the area. On Saturday, October 18 at The Saint in Asbury Park, Diego Allessandro and Lot 25 will buck that trend with a special 90-minute set of originals from all 3 of their full-length releases. The show will also be professionally filmed and recorded as part of something they’re calling “The Losin’ Kind Virtual World Tour” which will be available on YouTube. “The original idea was to simply cut a live album but the requests from our national and international fans moved me to think outside the box,” explained Allessandro. “The idea to use it in lieu of a physi- cal world tour came to me about two months ago. We have fans all across the country and all over the world who have asked us to come and play for them, but, at this time, we do not have the resources to do that.” Visit us online at http://www.NewJerseyStage.com pg 119
